One produces milky soft tones and the other is more beefy - sorry, couldn't help myself.

I am NOT any kind of luthier, but I have made 6 sets of "bone" nuts and saddles from deer antler. There are some luthiers who also make antler saddles and nuts commercially. Have no idea what the different in tone would be.
